    Since the amount of material has a massive relationship to both cost and time to print, those two variables are strongly correlated. Using two strongly correlated variables as separate measures amplifies the common base variable (i.e. amount of material), which can easily outweigh other, more meaningful variables. For example, given the amount of material used in your 5th rated versus your 1st rated prints, doubling the effect of the material quantity is likely to effect the overall rating more than the actual utility of the prints, which is counter to the title of the video.

    • @jbrou123
      @jbrou123 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Although the cost of material doesn't change, the print time can be. I would print the hand towel holder with an 0.8mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height, cutting print time from 33:14 down to 12:54. The final result may not be as smooth, but still functional.

  • @justinmcintosh2330
    @justinmcintosh2330 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I was thinking the same thing as many other folks. I have a Ender 3 V2 and I print PLA at 65mm/s to 85mm/s depending on the items detail and I typically use a .04mm nozzle with a .24 to .3mm layer height. As for my go to filament, I use OVERTURE PLA 1.75 from Amazon with next day shipping for only $22.99 a 1kg which after tax comes to just under .025 cents per gram.
    I hope these numbers maybe assist you in faster and cheaper prints in the future. My favorite PLA from OVERTURE is the Matte Black PLA as it looks great and prints beautifully.

    • @ZipperOfficial
      @ZipperOfficial 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      As a added note. Overture quality is excellent from my experience. It infact personally surpassed most of the "premium" PLAs on the market. People can defend their premium stuff but honestly those people just don't like to admit they got scammed lol.
      Anyways I like printing at .1mm layer height because it does overhangs better. If I am printing a part with little to no sharp overhang angles then .2ish is fine. Nothing a bit of sanding can't fix super quickly for those visable layers.
      Anyways you really should try buying from the overture website. Amazon doesn't take a slice of the pie and it's the same price. You can even get a discount for buying 3 and 6 packs.
      You also get $10 off orders and free shipping if you spend more than $50. Sure... you won't get 1 day shipping but you'll be supporting them more and it's cheaper.

  • @ThreenaddiesRexMegistus
    @ThreenaddiesRexMegistus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Your layer settings must be ultra-fine with those long printing times. Most of these could be done with a larger nozzle and increased layer height and still be just as strong and functional. Nicely done video but I think I could live without any of these.

    I giggled a little when you talked about the temperature in CA and 3M adhesive. Where I live in CA - TODAY it was 90 degrees and in the summer it pushes 110 degrees 50% of the time. 3M adhesive melts off in one afternoon. I like those clips at the end, but I've yet to find an adhesive that doesn't just slide off my dash, so I have to use precarious vent mounted abominations. :)

    Thanks for the thoughtful comparisons. I admit to considerable chagrin when I learned that plastic junk was the best my 3D printer could produce. When the list of top five print projects is a pile of stuff I wouldnt spend money on at Dollar Tree, this state of the art machine reveals itself to be an expensive toy.
    OK, so I realize its unlimited potential, but when thousands of these machines are in use, challenging so many creative minds, and the best we can produce are useless trinkets, I feel a bit hopeless that I will do better.
    Sure, I will try, but ... dang me.

    If you allow me: TH-cam is sometimes weird with music. In editing it sounds all nice, and uploaded suddenly it's way too loud. I'd recommend you to notch down the volume a bit in the intro, it's hard to understand what you're saying (which is arguably the more important thing). I had severe trouble with this in the past as well, so I can feel it. If you think it's great, drop it maybe 5dB and usually that's fine :)

    petg actually absorbs water more than PLA or ABS and it is a pain to print with because of this. Gotta make sure it is dry first. PETG is actually a better filament for hot areas and/or for durability as it has some flex to it making it a good filament for that buckle/snap piece instead of PLA.

    Definitely loving the phone holder / amplifier. I'm really confused with the times and costs he listed in this video for this print. My filament costs ~0.02 per gram (1kg rolls at $16.50 per roll calculating only the 800g usable filament because of spool holder) and I printed this in 10hrs at a 0.16mm layer height. Over 24hrs to print and over double my filament cost really doesn't make any sense...

    • @adamtjames
      @adamtjames  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Andrew Whalen so prints come out at a fine resolution. Especially for prints like the backpack buckle, the tolerances were pretty tight so it required a resolution setting that was pretty fine (although the layer height resolution does not affect the tolerance stack up in the x and y direction, the speed of the extruder can certainly have an influence on step and gap). As a result, to keep variability consistent print to print, I kept the same settings 😄

    • @guidomersmann9744
      @guidomersmann9744 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      But the layer high has nothing to with the resolution. The lines are still 0.4 mm in diameter, they just get squished more. Yes the layer lines are less visible, but even if you want that, you can print with dynamic layer height and reduce them when printing round overhangs. 0.1 mm layers are usually useful when printing miniatures and other high detailed stuff, where you need details in all three directions. In X/Y direction you always have a high resolution. I bet printing with 0.2mm would create the same result in half the time and half the time also means half the mount of electricity used, which btw your calculation lacks.

      Hi Kari, I typically print slower to ease on the mechanical systems of my 3D printer. By using an expensive printer for high resolution prints, you can avoid stringing, step/gap issues, warpage, and non-uniform wall thicknesses. We have to remind ourselves that these are still mechanical systems, and if we push them too hard it can result in damaging mechanisms which in turn would result in spending even more time replacing the stepper motors, threaded rods, rubberized treads, or nozzles. I believe that by printing at an accurate/slower print speed, it can extend the overall life of the mechanical systems, and return a great print (especially if we can leave these running overnight while we sleep!).
      My printing settings are as follows due to the previous reasons: Layer height: 1mm, Infill: 20%, Line width: .35mm, Wall thickness: 1mm, Bottom Layers:10, Print Speed: 70mm/s, Initial Layer speed: 20mm/s, Wall speed: 30mm/s. I hope this helps, and thanks for the support!

      @@adamtjames You would think an expensive printer would have higher end components to be able to handle the higher stress. Instead you're puttering at idle speeds. Belts are cheap to replace and fiber reinforced ones take forever to wear out of spec. Motors don't care, and assuming linear rails they'll go thousands of cycles before you even have to clean and re-oil. With the logic of caring about wear, you could also argue that putting heat on your hot end, extruder, motors, drivers, electronics, and power supply for sustained periods of time like that actually causes more wear than you would mechanically.
      Assuming your machine is tuned and in spec, it's easy to get very accurate prints at much higher wall speeds, which looks to be what is slowing you down the most. Maybe run a few speed tests to calibrate it a bit more.

    I can't help but wonder what kind of speeds people use during videos like these. Even at fairly stock settings for most printers these print times are WAY slower. Like stock settings for an ender 3 in cura, you'd be looking at sub 10 hours for BOTH shoe holders as an example. Assuming a layer height of .2mm. Sure, if you want to print at ridiculous resolutions it's gonna take forever, but that doesn't really do anything as you can do the same thing by just spending 10 minutes sanding the thing as post processing.
    3D printing is slow(ish), but this just seems needlessly slow. I like these prints though. I have some favorites of my own, one of which sits on top of the list and that's new offroad wheels for a robotic lawnmower. The lawnmower has now gone from almost useless to amazing. And for less than 1/10 of the price of what a new set of wheels would cost to buy.

      Yea, the pacing of the video was off it seems, after 2.5 minutes of watching I started skipping through. Over 10 hours per shoe holder? Is he printing at 10mm/s? I noticed he's printing at 0.1mm layer height as well. TBH, printing at 0.16, even 0.2 layer height and 50mm/s would give the same result for way over half the print time, if you don't mind a few layer lines, which can be sanded down or use a filament that hides the lines. Or even slow down your outside perimeter to melt the layers together more. Even remove the supports, on what appears to only be a few layers of "aggressive" overhangs, seems he has overhang angle set to around 30-35%? Just take the slight quality hit and sand off the rough edges it makes for a couple layers, at 0.1mm layer height you can probably handle 50-60 degree overhangs easily (If my crappy clone printer can handle it, your expensive one can).

    So hey there. PLA and ABS are not the most hygroscopic. PETG and ABS are, PLA is the best for staying dry. Lastly.... so Hygroscopic means it pulls moisture from the air, not from your shower. And even if it did, the only reason you would concern yourself with moisture in filament is because it effects the print quality

    • @adamtjames
      @adamtjames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheLightSpeed! ! Thanks for the comment. I didn’t necessarily say PETG and ABS weren’t hygroscopic, I was just referring to the fact that PETG is better for water based applications due to its resistance to both water and water based chemicals. When running a warm shower there will typically be higher condensation. Higher condensation leads to warmer air and warmer air holds more moisture which in return could bring a higher hygroscopic value. This is why we put filaments which are hygroscopic in a dehumidifier prior to or while printing 😄

    • @thelightspeed3d712
      @thelightspeed3d712 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Adam James PETG is the most hygroscopic filament next to Nylon. PLA is the least. TPU, PETG, NYLON and PVA are extremely hygroscopic.
      I’ve had a 3D printed PETG print in my shower for two years. It looks just like the day I put it in there

    I was about 4 hours down the 3d printer rabbit hole, thinking of buying one. Now though its very clear to me that many of the items are faaaaaaar cheaper by just going down the dollar tree vs a $5-6 printed shower phone amplifier, and that is assuming you just were accounting for the filament. I am sure my comment will get crucified like it does going against the grain of a given reddit forum.

    Never will i understand people who put their phones in the center of the car to use gps. That screen has to be a tool you can look at a glance and not something you have the ability to look at while stopped. Placing the phone on the left (lefties can put it on the right) in a place where it doesn't create a blind spot or creates a non important blind spot is essential in driving safety.
    Also how accurate is cura when determining how much filament you will be using length and weight wise?

      @@adamtjames easiest way to get diligent price is simply know how much filament you have and divide the price by the weight in grams to get the price per gram. This is especially easy with if you’re buying 1kg spool as it’s always just ‘price/1000’ my 18.99 filament is 1.899p per gram. Furthermore you could also include the cost of the electricity, most* 3D printers run at around 200-400W on start up 400, but 200 for most print time. This means your 24 hour print costs roughly the same as running a plasma tv for the same amount of time which is not insignificant. For example you could add a whole dollar to your 30 hour print for the cost of the electricity.
